Discussion Guidelines

Be Respectful- The Wiki is a fantastic place to collaborate and work together as a class to create ideas and solve problems but it is important to always be respectful of each participant as well as the class's Webspace.
Stay Educational- The Wiki is a place to type and comment about educational topics, not about any type of social event. Educational can be current events, but it needs to relate to the topic at hand.
Teach, Learn, Ask, and Take Risks- Make this place a site where you can teach others what you know and learn about topics you are unsure about. Collaboration is key, become a teacher, learn something new, and ask questions.
